Cinnamon Roll Cake in a Mug

September 10, 2013 by Jenn

This is a pretty exciting video for us . . . as it was our first one from inside the YouTube Space LA!  We were so excited to be filming inside a “real” studio while is LA.  It was so different than our beloved kitchen at home, but was oddly the same too.  I guess since we want to be able to show you all of the ingredients and steps, it’s hard to change our videos up too much!  The set kitchen is not getting too much love on YouTube.  We loved it, but our fans don’t seem to be.  One person said that they preferred the “other” set . . . to which I laughed at, as our “other” set is our home kitchen!   We love it too. 

If you’re short on time, or baking for one (or two if you have the will power) this cinnamon roll cake in a mug is perfect for you!  It’s finished in under two minutes and it tastes delicious.  The thing that I have learned about mug cakes is that they are so thick and almost creamy when they’re baked.  They are to die for.  You may notice when baking the mug cake that the top will seem to be not fully cooked, but it has been in my case.  It looks raw, but when you touch it, or use a toothpick to check it, it is done.  

If you have any good ideas for more mug cakes let me know and I just might make it!

Chocolate Chip Mug Cake (Microwave Cake)

May 26, 2013 by Jenn

This is one of the few things that I have remade after making it for the purposes of filming.  It’s that good.  A day in the life of a foodie YouTuber consists of practicing a recipe, tweeking it, filming it, and taking pictures of it.  Rarely, and I mean rarely do we (Paul and I) actually eat what I make.  (Obviously if you’ve seen me recently I been doing my fair share of eating!!–insert self deprecating talk here blah, fat, blah, ugly)  I love my cheesecake but other than that, after having made hundreds of cakes over the last three years, the idea of eating a piece of cake does not appeal to me one bit.  

This recipe is the exception. 

Normally, at the end of picture taking, we donate the food we’ve made and carry on to the next idea.  But, with this recipe, I ate the entire mug cake, AND half of Paul’s!  It is soooo good.  And a word of advice, if you underbake it **just** a little bit it comes out super gooey and ooey.  I’m salivating thinking about it right now.  HOLD ME BACK FROM THE MICROWAVE!!!!!! 

After I ate 1.5 mugs of this Chocolate Chip cake, I was definitely full of chocolate.  Until the next day when I had another one.  Oops. 

I’m not allowed to microwave cakes anymore.
